AIESEC in Latvia
Message from MCP Dear candidate, I want to congratulate you on your bravery to consider leading AIESEC in Latvia for the term 16-17, and I can assure that it is going to be a life-changing experience. About a year ago I took the same decision, and as a scary it was, I can not describe how I am glad that I took it. Without any doubt it is the most intense challenging experience for me by far, where I was given the chance to challenge the potential of the entity and make an impact on the society while I’m learning and developing, and pushing myself, my team, and my entity beyond the limits. AIESEC in Latvia is looking for brave motivated leaders who believe in the potentials and the strength of this entity and are committed to see growth not just for the sake of the entity but for the overall good of the organization.
Do you want to take an amazing, life-changing experience? Do you want to drive the growth in AIESEC in Latvia? Then you are in the right place, put your heart and passion in this process, and most importantly enjoy it. If Your Dreams Don't Scare You, They Aren't Big Enough! Best of luck!
